Jason and Neil Bawa discuss the state of the multifamily real estate market. Prices in the sector reached unsustainable levels, resulting in a 25% decline since the peak in early 2022. Neil outlines two scenarios for the future: one where the Federal Reserve cuts rates, leading to stabilization through rate caps and refinancing, and another where rates remain high, causing distress. In either scenario, the market is expected to recover by the first quarter of 2025, with investors and banks facing losses totaling around $50 billion in a trillion-dollar market.
